So people are claiming that James Alefantis denied the existence of a basement? Could someone please link the proof for this? I believe they are referring to the video "James Alefantis answers questions about PIzzaGate" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKTiUaloDDA but I rewatched the video 3 times, and did not hear him say this. So what are people referring to when they say that James Alefantis denied the existence of a basement?

Here, Alefantis confirms the existence of a basement: http://www.metroweekly.com/2015/04/from-scratch-james-alefantis/ (use ctrl F "basement")
